Remember we're at the front end of the revolution here! Social networking has huge ramifications for educating in bulk as you point out and is a great way to get boys engaged in an ordinary classroom (and girls more competent with e-technology). I think we have to be revitalised and get better at using these technologies ourselves or - yes - might be time to move on. I like your thoughts, Carol.

There's too much twitter fanboy behavior. I can't take it anymore. I have a feeling that the engaged and interesting teachers are the ones that use twitter. If you did not use twitter or other online stuff, you'd be the kind of teacher that engages anyway. Back in the day we sang, spoke, wrote, danced, did play-acting...we have a full range of social tools and cultural exploits we can exercise outside of electronics. Or are you directing instruction to large masses - maybe doing this with distance education? Which starts to make it more important. And I don't know how everybody else feels - but is there relief from the constant contact? I get this picture that the work never ends now. Somebody will have to make the excuse that the smartphone and the computer both landed in the swamp to be able to disconnect from everything. Maybe it starts to be beneficial to changing the system if all teachers are pressured to use blogs/twitter/facebook - freshening up some of the zombies?? Is that what is happening along the way? The dead teachers are quitting or getting on board? I am going to be a contrarian and also ask some honest questions. There’s too much twitter fanboy behavior. I can’t take it anymore.
